A method for manufacturing a flame tube for a turbomachine, the flame tube extending about an axis and comprising an annular radially internal wall and an annular radially external wall, connected to each other by an end wall or head wall, the internal wall, the external wall and the end wall defining an internal volume, at least one part of the said end wall forming a double wall comprising a first part and a second part connected to each other and spaced apart from each other so as to delimit a flow channel for a flow of cooling air opening into the said internal volume, the said flow channel comprising at least one air-inlet opening, the first and second parts of the double wall being connected by connecting zones or bridges extending into the flow channel for the cooling-air flow, the flame tube being manufactured by additive manufacturing.
A method for manufacturing a flame tube for a turbomachine, the said flame tube extending about an axis and comprising an annular radially internal wall and an annular radially external wall, connected to each other by an end wall, the internal wall, the external wall and the end wall defining an internal volume, at least one part of the said end wall forming a double wall comprising a first part and a second part connected to each other and spaced apart from each other so as to delimit a flow channel for a flow of cooling air exiting into the said internal volume, the said flow channel comprising at least one air-inlet opening, the first and second parts of the double wall being connected by connecting zones or bridges extending into the flow channel for the cooling-air flow, the connecting areas or bridges being arranged in the form of at least one circumferentially extending row, the method comprising:
